Chemical Active Textile (CAT)

The STEDAIR® Chemical Active Textile technology consists of a waterproof, breathable protective barrier against common chemical warfare agents. When exposed to halogenated chemical warfare agents, the CAT technology acts as a neutralizing barrier to protect against lethal chemical penetration. The de-halogenation occurs at the surface of the CAT membrane and dissociates the chemical warfare agents into non-lethal chemicals. These bi-products are quickly dissipated in the ambient environment causing no harm. The CAT barrier, comprised of a monolithic membrane, protects against common industrial chemical penetration, viral and blood born pathogen penetration as well as basic radioactive bi-products.
